jeudi 30 mars 2006Painting finished, kitchen started
Finished all the painting in the gite yesterday. Two coats on the walls and ceilings. It covered very well. I think having a good undercoat helped.
Today I started to fit the rest of the kitchen. Four more base units and three wall units that we bought from Ikea. You hear alot of jokes about assembling Ikea flat pack stuff, missing bits, vague instructions etc., but everything when together very smoothly. Nothing missing and pretty good quality.
Fitting the sink unit carcass was a bit fiddly as I had to fit up the waste water piping for the sink and the dishwasher next to it. Just a lot of measuring, cutting pipes and holes and dry fitting. The carcass went in and out half-a-dozen times before it was sorted. The wall units were very easy as we had fixed thick plywood to the back of the plasterboard and it just involved getting everything level and putting in some large screws.
I should be able to fit the rest of the units tomorrow then make a start on the 'return' wall for the units that finish of the last side of the U-shape
